Raipur: The southwest monsoon is gradually withdrawing from Chhattisgarh, and the state meteorological department projects mainly dry weather for the coming two days. Moisture‑laden cloud bands are expected to recede, ushering in a short pause in rainfall.
The retreat line of the monsoon is inching forward, allowing several districts to enjoy clearer skies within the next 48 hours. Over the past 24 hours, most of the state has already experienced dry conditions.
No Rain Warnings Issued for the Next Two Days
Atmospheric activity will stay subdued during this period. At present, no district in Chhattisgarh is under any rain or weather‑related alert.
